He wants suggestions. Time to work on my list.
The worst song ever isn't rock, it's country: "Teddy Bear" by Red Sovine.

It's hard to define "rock" because the played so much light rock crap on "rock" stations in years past. My pretty obvious choice for REALLY Bad Song is "Afternoon Delight" by Starland Vocal Band. But you could add in anything by Air Supply, Seals & Croft, Christopher Cross and all the other wussy-rockers played on the radio in the 70s and 80s.

Worst song from the eighties? "We Are Animals" by The Europeans. This played on my favorite Beavis and Butthead episode ("Canoe"), and as the boys said, it sucked more than anything else they had ever seen.

'Muskrat Love' by Captain and TennilleI second that! Although "Midnight at the Oasis" could beat it by a hair. What horrible songs!
